System:
Mythos Four (L/R)
Mythos Three (C)
RSS II (side surrounds on ceiling)
Mythos Two (rear surrounds)
Receiver: Likely going to be the Pioneer SC-05; Planned crossover 100Hz; Using this to watch movies primarily.
The measured -3dB point of the Mythos Four's is 104Hz (HT labs)
Room:
Dimensions of listening area: 11 ft x 19 ft with 8 foot ceilings. There are 4 (4 foot) windows on the east side wall, covered with plantation shutters. There are three walls (front, back -- 11 feet each; 19 foot east wall) The west side is open to a large open area. Total cubic feet is about 5224 cubic feet (includes the listening area--1672 cubic feet and the open area--the remainder)
It’s a finished basement with concrete carpeted floor and concrete about half way up on the walls, covered in sheetrock. The ceilings are sheetrock covered with knockdown plaster. The seating position is 9 to 10 feet from the front of the room. I’m hoping to compensate by cramming the sub into the northeast corner—hopefully those 3 concrete surfaces will help fill things a little bit.
I watch movies at moderate volumes, and am placing a priority on having my sub blend as seamlessly as possible with the existing speakers. Therefore, I need the sub to be able to play at higher frequencies than most, I suspect.
I am considering the SVS subs -- specifically SB12-Plus; PB-12 Plus; PC-12 Plus. Would like to keep cost of sub under $1,000, and go with a single sub if possible. Saving floor space would be nice--asthetics are secondary, however (despite the Mythos stuff
) WAF is moderate. I am open to other brands if you have a strong recommendation.
If you have any suggestions, I'd sure appreciate them. Will be making a decision this weekend. Thanks!

Congrats! I think you'll be thrilled with two PC12-Pluses! Keep us posted.
